********************************************************************************

- Replicating results requires STATA 16.0/SE
- Running the replication code takes approx. 5 minutes.
- Please contact authors should any problems occur.



********************************************************************************
* REPLICATION STEPS
********************************************************************************

- To replicate all results follow these steps:

	-> Set working directory in file "replication.do".
	-> If necessary, install required .ado-files as indicated in "replication.do".
	-> Run file "replication.do" to replicate all statistical results.



********************************************************************************
* DATA FILES USED IN STATA 16.0 (VERSION SE 64-bit x86-64)
********************************************************************************

1. "replication_data_macro.dta": used to replicate all statistical analyses reported in the manuscript and the supporting information.

2. "replication_data_micro.dta": used to replicate Figures 1 and 6 in the manuscript as well as Figures SI.2.1 in the supporting information.

3. "replication_data_micro_argentina.dta": used to replicate Figure SI.3.1 in the supporting information.

All other data files are auxiliary and created by running "replicaction.do".



********************************************************************************
* STATA .DO FILE (STATA/SE 16.0 FOR WINDOWS 64-bit x86-64)
********************************************************************************

1. "replication.do": commands to be used with datasets 1-3 (see above) in order to replicate:

	-> Table 1 in the manuscript.
	-> Figures 1 to 11 in the manuscript.
	-> Tables SI.2.1 to SI.5.4 in the supporting information.
	-> Figures SI.2.1 to SI.4.2 in the supporting information.
